Alpha Academy Alumnae Association (Toronto Chapter)

Welcome aboard, Alumnae and Friends!

Step into the community of the Alpha Academy Alumnae Association (Toronto Chapter), nestled in the heart of Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

As proud graduates of the Convent of Mercy Academy “Alpha” in Kingston, Jamaica, we have built a community that’s been making a positive impact in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) community for over four decades.

Join us as we extend a helping hand to charitable organizations, including the Alliance of Jamaican Alumni Associations (AJAA). Together, we help to provide scholarship funds for aspiring high school graduates, empowering them to chase their dreams of higher education  We also support their Care and Share initiative.

Throughout the year, our Toronto Chapter hosts events like Brunches, Dinner Dances and other events. Through these celebrations, we offer unwavering support to our beloved alma mater, Alpha, funding essential projects, and fostering other remarkable initiatives.

As we stand united in our shared experiences and aspirations, let’s embrace the spirit of camaraderie and create lasting memories together. Welcome to a place where cherished connections and noble causes come alive!

Message from President Joelle-Ann Goodison

 

HAPPY NEW YEAR, Alpha Family and Friends!

As we welcome New Year 2026, we pause to reflect on the many meaningful moments that shaped 2025.

Our Grand Reunion 2025 was truly a highlight—bringing together Alpha sisters, family, and friends of all ages for a memorable week filled with fellowship, laughter, and fun-filled activities. It was a beautiful celebration of our shared history and enduring sisterhood.

The year also marked a time of transition for our leadership team. I am honoured to serve as President, alongside Vice President Gillian Amos, and a dedicated group of committed women who continue to support the needs of our chapter. We also pause to remember and honour the life of our beloved Vern Leach. She and her family remain in our thoughts and prayers.

Closer to home, Hurricane Melissa deeply impacted our beloved homeland—particularly Western Jamaica and neighbouring islands—causing widespread devastation to homes, schools, and infrastructure. In response, committees have been formed to organize fundraising efforts to support rebuilding in these communities. More information will be shared in the coming weeks.

As we look ahead, I pray that 2026 brings each of you hope, peace, joy, and love. Let us continue to uplift and support one another as we strive to live by our motto, Ad Verum et Bonum—To the Good and the True.

Please mark your calendars for May 3, 2026, when we will gather once again for our Annual Spring Brunch. We look forward to your continued support and fellowship as we share good food, entertainment, and friendship.

Wishing you and your loved ones a prosperous, healthy, and safe 2026.

Warmest regards,
Joelle-Ann Goodison
President
